The new movie “Anaconda” is not a remake of the 1997 movie “Anaconda” that starred Jennifer Lopez, John Voight, and Ice Cube. This new version is about four people who are friends, who decide to make a “reboot” of the movie Anaconda, which means that this is a movie about making another movie that was released 28 years ago. There is no doubt that this is a new idea for a screenplay, but unfortunately, it is so idiotic, unfunny, and stupid that there is no way this film should have been greenlit and financed for $45 million dollars.

The most amazing thing about this bad movie is why Paul Rudd, Jack Black, Steve Zahn, and Thandiwe Newton could have read this script, agreed to fly to Australia for months of hardship to make a movie that is this so obviously bad. This film is supposed to be a parody or comedy of the original Anaconda movie, but there was not one laugh in the audience I was in, and almost no moment that was even slightly amusing. Ironically, the movie that was worse than this movie was the film the characters were trying to make inside of this idiotic mess. Then during this story, the four friends run into another production crew also trying to make another reboot of Anaconda. What level of drug use is required to think of this many bad ideas for one film?

The Rotten Tomatoes ratings for this bad movie is only 50%, with my rating 10% and a recommendation to “whatever you do, miss this disaster of movie making at all costs”.
